Remember growing up?


Our formative years shape our perceptions and expectations of the world, for many years to come.  How was it for you growing up? 

If you are lucky, you grew up in a stable environment in which you can discover yourself and your surroundings without too much chaos.  However, if you are like many who did not have the luxury to grow up in a safe and secure home, you’re still not out of luck! 

You have the ability to gain insight into your life and to choose how to react to your world today, and to live a life of your choosing. 

Let us begin the journey.

On being flexible ..  

Flexibility is a virtue that produces many benefits.  

I have found that being a flexible person has allowed me to access more opportunities. People are more inclined to ask me to do things because they know I'm more likely to say yes when I'm able. 

Being flexible has also helped me to weather rough relationships. In potentially conflictual situations, I don't put myself in the rigid position of thinking that I must behave this way or that way. I let different attitudes and behaviors come to me from others without me having to react a certain way.  When I don't need to react predictably (usually negatively) toward a situation, I'm free to assess the situation and be in control of both my emotions and the conflict that's around me.  It is a valuable tool for conflict resolution and anger management.  An analogy on flexibility is the difference between steel and iron.  Steel withstands stress more than iron because it is more malleable and flexible than iron.  

Flexibility contains elements of humility.  It requires that a person not take himself too seriously when he faces adversity.  It is an attitude that comes in handy when one encounters stressful situations.  

Being flexible costs nothing, and it allows one to experience freedom in times of conflict.  Insights/Archive.htmlshapeimage_5_link_0
